We can thank LeBron for Kendrick Lamar’s ‘untitled unmastered.’ releasing now

LeBron James, apparently a big Kendrick Lamar fan, wanted more of Lamar’s new material following his iconic Grammy performance. So he tweeted at Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony Tiffith asking if he could release Lamar’s untitled tracks (h/t Pitchfork):

LeBron’s tweet is obviously not the sole reason Lamar released "untitled unmastered.", but it certainly played a role, if only a small one. So if you’re a Kendrick Lamar fan — and why wouldn’t you be? — be sure to give LeBron his proper due for making your weekend.
